Sorry you are not feeling well. As for the sore throat I take a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. It burns the heck out of my throat when I take it but then I am better for a while. Grandmother taught me that... I guess from back before there was Chloroseptic numbing spray which would probably work just as well
Don't weigh yourself everyday silly... but if you do don't really worry about what it says until your "Weigh In Day" each week. It will make you go crazy.
